In-game ads made headlines last year when President Obama advertised his presidential campaign in Burnout Paradise. While driving along the street, you could see billboards adorned with Obama's face.
With print, TV, and Internet advertising suffering from lower rates and fewer sales, one might think that ads in video games would decline as well. According to financial analysts at Citigroup, however, there's a good chance this will not be the case.
Skewed and Reviewed have posted some gameplay from the retro game.
Just like you don’t ask a woman her age, you don’t ask a Final Fantasy fan how many games there are in total.
I don't quiet get who it's directed at. General player? Sure, I can believe them not knowing some of the less popular final fantasy games. But final fantasy FANS? There is nothing forgotten about these games.
The best Souls-like not made by FromSoftware, Lies of P has now sold over three million copies since its 2023 release.
To celebrate, all members of the Round8 Studio development team will be rewarded with a two-week holiday, a bonus of 10 million KRW (~£5,400 / $7,300), and a Nintendo Switch 2.
I appreciate this way of doing business. I may even buy Lies of P now because of it. Where your money goes it's literally the only leverage we have as consumers to make a difference in an industry we all have an opinion about. Withholding it or spending it in the right places is about all we can do.
This is fire. Just like the game. I haven't gotten the dlc yet, but im really thinking about it. I just thought it ended great, I really want to see what they do with Dorothy. Will you fight the Tinman, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, the Wicked Witch and Wizard of Oz? Maybe Toto's with us, that'd be fire.
For the moment there, I thought Lies of P will be ported to Switch 2. XD Anyway, congratulations to Round8 and the whole development team.
it ads to the atmosphere like in picadili square in gt5p
I remember when they said in-game ads will help to cut down on the costs of making game so that prices wont go up on them. Yet we see in-game ads and the price of games went from 50 to 60
@Labaronx
It was Microsoft who said that in order for Xbox Live to be free there would have to be Ads on it which there are so I think they should atleast lower the price if anything
If it's logical placement, I really don't care.
Things that are ok:
- Freeway signs
- Building murals
- soda beverages
- restaurants
- delivery vehicles (like a parked pizza delivery car or something)
Things that are NOT ok:
- Other games being advertised
- obvious placement such as next to a character's face in a closeup
- constant in-game references to any given product whether spoken or visual (too much is a big no-no for any advertising)
It's a good market for ads. I don't mind because ads can potentially add to the realism as in other forms of entertainment.
Just don't go crazy to the point ads hurt the product itself. I don't want to see a McDonalds in GoW.
Anyone noticed the real adverts in Prototype?
I'm not sure if it's just in the game or streamed online. But I'm in the UK, I don't have these 'Gamestops'. I can understand DC comics, due to them publishing the Prototype comic, but Gamestop? what the heck have they got to do with Prototype except selling the game in the US?
